Alchemist familiar???
« on: July 06, 2011, 07:36:09 AM »
Does anyone know what the small rodent like creature is pictured with the Orc Alchemist in the first edition rulebook???  It's on page 80 if you're following along.

You can barely see it in the second edition book as the Orc Alchemist pic is super small, and in black and white only.

Sorry I've no image to attach.  I'll try to fix that.

Edit:  Bottom of the page you can see the pic:

Hee hee! The little critter seems to be something like a diminutive beast of burden for the Alchemistīs paraphernalia – note that it has a pannier on its back. I donīt think its presence or absence has any influence on the game, but itīs these little things that serve to make Blackblood culture more exotic.

I wouldnīt mind a game of "catch the Alchemistīs wayward familiar" – if there are valuable healing herbs and potions in that backpack, Iīm positive that other parties would be interested too.

Exactly!!!

It's just one more interesting bit of the setting to me.  It's probably more convenient than a backpack for lugging potions and scrolls.   :)

I think I'd like to see this model realized....

As for your Gremlins reference, that was a good laugh!!  Thanks for that.  I'm sitting out a hurricane right now and need all the help I can get.

Cheers.
